Eden Anne Kjar

Well Eden and I are home now and apparently we've been asked to share pictures so now that I'm home with something more than my mom's I- phone I can show some pics of my pretty little princess.
First things first the story, last Thursday my midwife checked me and decided that I was getting pretty close to having my baby, well about an hour after she checked me I started getting contractions, go figure well those contractions didn't stop till Sunday afternoon when Eden was delivered. I'll tell you that many days with bad contractions makes a women cranky but I have a great support system at home. My parents had decided to come up on Sunday. Sunday morning I was no longer able to control my contractions and was told to come in. Well I really didn't want to be another pregnant women who went to the hospital and was sent home but I did as I was told after we went to sacrament meeting. That was the longest meeting of my life. We then went to the hospital and and was checked and told I could not go home because I was in active labor and needed to get a c-section done because my last two deliveries were C-sections. At 3:45 in the afternoon Eden was delivered she was 5lbs, 8oz and 18 in. long, by far my smallest baby but she is a trooper and has done better than the nursing staff and Dr's expected. We feel so blessed that even though she was born at just shy of the 37 week mark she is healthy and strong.

 Back together with my boys.

Eden had to stay in the nursery for a couple of hours while she was being checked so the boys snuggled up with me in my uncomfortable hospital bed.

 The best part about having a baby during the day is that you are not as tired so I was able to enjoy the birth of our daughter.

 the day after Eden was born can you tell that I'm on heavy pain killers and that I'm just a little tired. Josh and Eric both wanted to be with their sister.

 This is probably my favorite picture of the day. Eric is so happy to be a big brother.
